CHECK IT OUT, GET INVOLVED, AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Green Corps 7/8
On Tuesday, July 8th the Green Corps had our first service project. We learned about forestry, helped educate school children on the environment, and cleaned a Green Foundation site. (See above photo.) We collected over a dozen bags of trash, 2 bags of recycling, and we were able to retrieve 2 shopping carts and an old tire from the pond!
A special thanks to Clyde Marsteller, Eddie Harrah, and Libby Carmines for making this project possible.
